Now,

let

us

lift

our

voices

today!

Rise!

It

is

time

to

praise

the

Almighty.

When

the

morning

breaks

and

I

open

my

eyes

Another

day

of

grace,

another

sunrise

I

didn't

earn

it,

I

don't

deserve

it

Still

You

give

it,

still

You

give

it

Every

breath

I

take

is

a

gift

You

made

Every

step

I

walk,

You

paved

the

way

So

before

I

speak,

before

I

move

Let

my

heart

give

thanks

to

You

Give

thanks

to

the

Father,

giver

of

life

Give

thanks

to

the

Father,

through

every

fight

He

was

there

in

the

valley,

He's

here

on

the

mountain

Never

left

my

side,

never

stopped

counting

Every

tear,

every

prayer,

every

silent

night

Give

thanks

to

the

Father,

for

He

is

the

light

When

the

road

was

rocky

and

the

sun

was

hot

You

picked

me

up

whenever

I

had

defeat

Oya,

see

how

the

joy

is

bubbling

in

my

soul

He

makes

the

broken

spirit

feel

completely

whole

Chop

life

with

gratitude,

that

is

the

way

To

see

the

blessings

that

come

every

day

Give

thanks

to

the

Father,

giver

of

life

Oh,

omalicha

Father,

You

are

the

king

of

kings

You

are

the

reason

the

choir

in

my

spirit

sings

Through

the

storm,

through

the

wind,

through

the

darkest

night

You

hold

the

candle,

You

hold

the

light

Omo,

no

wahala

when

You

are

by

my

side

With

You,

my

spirit

takes

a

beautiful

ride

So

keep

the

praise

going,

let

the

horns

blow

loud

Let

the

joy

of

the

Lord

be

a

golden

shroud

From

Enugu

to

Lagos,

let

the

melody

spread

His

grace

is

the

oil

upon

my

head

I’

m

walking

in

victory,

I’

m

walking

in

grace

Looking

at

the

beauty

of

Your

holy

face

Chai!

Everything

is

working

for

my

good

Just

like

You

promised,

like

You

said

You

would
